Ever wonder how that
Massachusetts judge
who took your children
away and stripped you
of your house and assets
got to sit on the bench?
All judges were approved,
usually by unanimous,
vote, by the Governors
Council at a public hearing.
The audio for their
hearings over the last
couple of years can be heard here:

Tom Ball Kills Himself in Front of Keene, NH Courthouse

Tue, 08/16/2011 - 10:18 | JoeU

It was with sadness that we learned Tom Ball, in an act of protest, sacrificed his life by dousing himself with gasoline and lighting himself on fire at the Keene New Hampshire County Court House steps on Wednesday. June 15, 2011. Eye witness accounts of Tom's last moments say he was calm and committed to his act.

We encourage everyone to understand why Tom took his own life by reading the 'Last Statement' he sent to the media.

Tom was an energetic leader for more than three years of the Worcester chapter of The Fatherhood Coalition and served on the statewide leadership board. In this moment of grief we ask everyone new and old to fatherhood causes to come together in solidarity.

That no one else should endure such an absolute and final sacrifice let us show our respect to a father pushed to his limits by continuing our resolve to stop this country's war on fatherhood.
